Senior Engineer (WFH, Backend & Full-Stack)

About this role

Remote | Full-time
We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who ships fast, thinks clearly, and solves real problems. No fluff. No red tape. Just strong engineers building software that matters.
What You’ll Do

• Own features end-to-end — from idea to production

• Write clean, scalable, maintainable code

• Identify and fix performance and reliability bottlenecks

• Work closely with product and ops to ship pragmatically, not perfectly

Tech Stack
Backend

• FastAPI, Pydantic

• Postgres

• SQLAlchemy (nice to have, not a blocker)

Frontend

• React, Next.js

• TypeScript

• Zustand, Tailwind CSS

You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you must be comfortable learning fast and operating independently.
What You Bring

• 8-10+ years of hands-on engineering experience

• Strong depth in Python/Go and TypeScript/JS

• Experience building and scaling production systems

• Sharp problem-solving skills — frameworks are tools, not the point

• Clear communicator, low ego, high ownership

• Able to juggle priorities without hand-holding

Nice to Have

• Experience with AWS, infra, or performance optimisation

• Strong opinions on system design (and the ability to defend them)

• Side projects or open-source work you’re proud of

Why Cadence

• Full autonomy

• Remote-first, async-friendly

• Small team, high trust

• Speed over bureaucracy, always
